N\AAbstract
This research aims to determine the effect of environmental pollution on some genetic markers of the American cockroach by conducting molecular tests on the COX1 and COI LCO genes. The current study was conducted at Samarra University, College of Education/Laboratory of the Department of Life Sciences. Samples of adult American cockroaches were collected from six Iraqi cities: Duhok, Kirkuk, Samarra, Baghdad, Nasiriyah, and Basra, between September 2023 and September 2024. Three samples were taken from each city for molecular study. DNA was extracted, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed, and the samples were sent for DNA sequencing analysis. The results showed 100% similarity between samples in the DNA analysis of the COX1 gene, indicating that this gene is suitable for studying convergence between species. However, the COI LCO gene showed interspecies differences and is suitable for studying environmental effects.
